Independent Voters Rather than
New Parties Wanted.

The Western Rural in discussing
the deeadence Of political parties
says:
Political parties are not long to be
depended upon, however we'll started
They get into the hands of the bum
mers and trimmers Men who make
politics trade, are by force of train
ING able to get in the lead; and par
ties want votes. The most virtuOus
party that was ever organized wants
votes, and it will trim for votes.
Further. whenever we bind ourselves
to a rarity we plant the partisan
prejudice within us. and we very
soon find ourselves shouting for the
party right or wrong. We can see
nothing but the success of the party.
Is it not true? Has not every one of
us been in that position in our lives?
And is not most of our trouble to-
day traceab1e to that very cause?
What this country wants more
than ANYTHING else is more of what
has already become a po"eriui ere
ment in our politics great indie
pepient vote, that has convictions
and will give expression to them at
the polls. That is to be our sheet
anchor, if we ever have one; and
when we can muster vast army of
independent voters closely massed
in organization, to the end that the
merits of candidates can he discussed
from a non partisan standpoint, and
each voter can vote intelli9ently for
the best man. this republic will be
forever safe, the rights of the individ-
ual will be assured, the causes of
discomfort will no longer exist and
anarchy will be driven to hide its
head.
